ORCID ID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), a personal digital identifier that distinguishes every researcher, is used by NIH and Grants.gov to relate publications to grants. In a release yesterday, a new link to access ORCID.org<https://orcid.org/> was added to the Personal Profile section of eRA Commons. This will allow principal investigators to create an ORCID ID to link to their Commons account, so that their publications can be linked to their grants.

ERIC Releases New Widget
01/11/2018 09:49 AM EST
ERIC released a widget that provides a quick path to ERIC resources. The widget is intended to help users gain immediate access to ERIC search tools and products to help support their work and studies.

Now You Can Manage Your Opportunity Subscriptions

Dear Paul J Benson,


Our latest release has greatly enhanced Grants.gov subscriptions services to funding opportunities and saved searches.
When you have a moment, log into your account and click on the Connect tab, where you will be able to manage and subscribe to new opportunities, individual opportunities, and saved search criteria.
You now have full control over your subscriptions: You can unsubscribe from some opportunities, subscribe to new ones, or refine criteria from saved searches in order to improve results.

New, Improved Registration

Grants.gov's new subscription management features are available only to registered users, but it is now much easier to create a Grants.gov account.
One of the biggest hurdles to registering was the requirement of listing a DUNS Number or, for individual applicants, a funding opportunity number.
With today’s release, these hurdles have been removed. Anyone with an interest in federal grants can easily register by filling in a few basic fields and confirming their email address.

Encourage Your Colleagues to Register

We hope you will encourage your colleagues who do not have Grants.gov accounts to register today so they can begin managing opportunity subscriptions and collaborating on workspace applications.
This video can walk them through the (now painless) process of registering.



Share the Registration Video



P.S. Do you have questions about any of the Release 16.1 enhancements? Contact our Help Desk at support@grants.gov.

In addition, the Personal Profile screens will be updated on Wednesday, January 10, to better align with best practices in security, user interface design, and industry standards. The navigation will be more user friendly, while the underlying functionality, fields, and requested information will remain the same.
